I think AbouEl-Makarim means bimodal distribution here is my solve (sorry for primitive example) m1-0; sd1-1; m2-4; sd2-1; bimodal-curve(dnorm(x,m1,sd1)+dnorm(x,m2,sd2), from=min(c(m1,m2))-3*max(c(sd1,sd2)), to=max(c(m1,m2))+3*max(c(sd1,sd2))); ql_1-quantile(rnorm(1000,m1,sd1),0.05);

Dear R users: I am currently teaching a course in Statistics. Can someone give an R code(s) to create a biomodal curve(s) with shaded area of 90% and with 5% in each tail With many thanks abou == AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Statistics

Would this work? m1 - 3.5 m2 - 6.5 s1 - 0.8 s2 - 0.8 dist1 - dnorm(x, mean=m1, sd=s1) dist2 - dnorm(x, mean=m2, sd=s2) biModalDist - dist1 + dist2 q - qnorm(.9,0,1) z1 - q*s1 z2 - q*s2 zLow - m1 - z1 zUp - m2 + z xShade - seq(zLow, zUp, 0.1) d1Shade - dnorm(xShade, mean=m1, sd=s1) d2Shade -

x didn't make it through the cut-and-paste, it should be: x - seq(0, 10, 0.1) also zUp has a typo, it should be: zUp - m2 + z2 That should work now. On 1/15/2012 2:41 PM, AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa wrote: Dear R users: I am currently teaching a course in Statistics. Can someone give an R

I recently wrote a function for the mosaic package that makes it easy to generate various kinds of plots of distributions. For example, to plot a Binom(30,.35) distribution, you just use: distPlot(binom,params=list(size=30, prob=.35)) and get the attached plot (if it makes it through to

I have modified the distPlot() function in the mosaic package so that the following makes the desired plot (as a density histogram): distPlot( binom, params=list(35,.25), groups= y dbinom(qbinom(0.05, 35, .25), 35,.25), kind='hist') The groups argument is used to get the desired shading of
